THE GREAT GENERAL Tony Challenged Grandma Tiffany
"Tony, what's gotten into you? Do you realize what the situation is like right now?" Jade whispered, pulling Tony's hand.The people in the room looked at Tony disdainfully. Grandma Tiffany narrowed her eyes. She currently looked like a villain."What's wrong with what I just said, Jade? I simply informed Grandma that your father deserves to hold that prestigious position," Tony defended himself."Read the room before you say something!" Jade snapped back in a whisper. "If you say it at a time like this, you'll only put our family in trouble."Tony looked at Jade, furrowing his brow. He was confused. His wife should be happy because he was trying to boost Josh's position in front of the large family.Meanwhile, the people started to murmur. They didn't know anything about Tony's recent developments, so in their eyes, Tony was still the useless trash that needed to be kicked out of the Robertson family."I wonder why Josh hasn't kicked this trash out of his house yet.""What surprises
THE GREAT GENERAL Annoying Conversation At The Airport
What Grandma Tiffany said instantly tensed Jade's expression. She looked at Tony, hoping her husband wouldn't escalate the situation further.However, Tony's words only made the tension on her face even more apparent."Alright, Grandma. But if I win the bet, you have to appoint my father-in-law as the CEO of Robertson Group. And you also have to apologize to him for underestimating his abilities and capacities. No excuse. Do we have a deal?"In the eyes of the people in the room, Tony seemed completely insane. He had already acted improperly by openly opposing Grandma Tiffany, and now he was willing to challenge her even further?Even Josh, who had been trying to stay quiet and trust Tony, began to feel restless. How could Tony risk his fate without any agreement from him?"Tony, you're going too far! Do you realize what you just said?" Josh finally exclaimed, reprimanding Tony with a serious expression.Tony turned to his father-in-law, nodded once, and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll
THE GREAT GENERAL Tony's Provocation
"Sorry I'm late," Tony said as he approached.His voice remained the same, and in Sasha's and the other's eyes, it contrasted sharply with Tony's different appearance.This time, Tony looked stunning in his sleek and expensive suit, making him appear handsome and classy.If only Tony wore a mask or covered his face, they would never believe that the person they were seeing now was Tony."Tony, what's with this appearance? Did you deliberately buy a special suit for today?" Jade asked, approaching her husband."How do I look, Jade? Do you like it?" instead of answering, Tony threw the question back at Jade, smiling thinly and raising an eyebrow.Jade was too amazed to answer the question. But without her needing to say anything, Tony could already tell that his wife was captivated by his new look.In addition to the luxurious and classy suit, he had also changed his hairstyle. Earlier, he had stopped by the salon recommended by Hayley. There, he asked the hairstylist to make his hair l
THE GREAT GENERAL David's Hidden Intention
Through Jade's eyes, Tony was now in a critical position where his life was truly at stake.Her widened eyes were fixed on the tip of the folding knife pressed against Tony's neck. If David were to apply even slight pressure, Jade would surely see blood spill from her husband's neck.But Tony himself remained calm. His expression showed no sign of feeling threatened. In fact, he still managed to steer the wheel with ease, as if David were still lounging in the passenger seat.He glanced at the rearview mirror briefly to check on David's wife and child's reaction. He saw the German woman embracing her child, burying the child's face into her stomach."What’s wrong, David? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Tony asked casually, still moving the steering wheel and shifting gears.David, who had initially felt superior to Tony, was now starting to feel uneasy with how Tony was responding. At this point, he should have taken control—not only of their situation but also of Tony's l
THE GREAT GENERAL A Special Gift
At the Robertson family residence..."David, it's been ages since I last saw you. How have you been? Are you well?" Tiffany looked delighted to see her beloved son in front of her. Her eyes sparkled with joy. Christine pushed her wheelchair a bit faster."Hi, Mom. I'm fine. How about you? Since when have you been sitting in a wheelchair like this?" David's words showed no sympathy—let alone empathy. Even from the way he looked at his mother, one could sense a hint of laziness mixed with disgust.Esther, standing to David's right, noticed it. Her glance at David conveyed strong hostility."Well, I'm old, David. My remaining time may not be long. That's why I'm glad you're finally back," Tiffany said.Although not explicitly stated, it was clear that Tiffany had decided to whom she would pass control of the Robertson family business empire.Esther felt a tightness in her chest. She wanted to dunk her head into a bathtub and scream her lungs out.As Tiffany's only unmarried child, Esth
THE GREAT GENERAL Surprise in the Last Moment
"Why so quiet, Josh? Don't you have something to give Mom as a gift?" David teased.Josh took a deep breath again, trying to control his anger which was already like a raging fire.Sasha, standing beside him, gently rubbed his back. Despite the promising partnership with PLS Group that her husband managed to secure, their financial situation was not so good at the moment. She knew that."You all see it, don't you? He can't even give something to show that he's worthy of the CEO seat at Robertson Group. Even without waiting for two weeks, you all already know who deserves to fill that prestigious position," David said.Josh didn't reply. He just bowed his head, staring at the tip of his shoes.No matter how angry he was with David, he couldn't continue to challenge him in this situation. He could end up being David's punching bag, along with his cousins and his mom.Sasha, with a sad face, continued to rub Josh's back. Jade frowned in frustration. 'If only a miracle could happen and
THE GREAT GENERAL Time To Fight Back
Josh fell silent as he stared at the soldier. They had indeed brought in gift boxes and placed them on the floor in front of them. Were they all for him?It wasn't just Josh who was speechless with disbelief. His cousins seemed to share the same sentiment. They had never known that Josh had special connections to the military."Hey, what's going on? Since when can strangers just enter the Robertson family residence like this?" David quipped.The soldier who had spoken to Josh stared at him coldly. David returned his gaze with raised eyebrows. He wasn't afraid to confront soldiers."Mom, are you okay with this? People come and say they're bringing gifts for Josh. Isn't that rude, Mom? This isn't Josh's house but yours. These people should be bringing these gifts for you, not for Josh," David continued, provoking Tiffany.Tiffany directed her gaze at the soldiers, and then at the gift boxes they brought.Honestly, she was annoyed that these unknown people just entered like this. They
THE GREAT GENERAL Realize Your Position!
"You! How dare a lowly soldier like you slap me!" David retorted.Smack! Smack!The soldier slapped him again. Two consecutive slaps.This time, David, tall and sturdy as he was, not only staggered but fell to the ground."I could slap you again and again, and you'd still be considered lucky. If The Great General himself were to punish you, you might be paralyzed or even dead by now!" said the soldier.David lifted his head, glaring at the soldier with hatred. But he didn't say anything. He wiped the blood from the edge of his lips."Realize your position before challenging The Great General. Comparing you to him is like comparing the earth to the sun. You're not even worthy of showing your face in front of him!" the soldier continued.David's face flushed. He hadn't expected the situation to turn this nasty. Now, he didn't even have the courage to challenge the soldier like before."Josh! Do you remember what I told you earlier?!" Tiffany suddenly asked loudly.Josh looked at Tiffany

The Truth
Jade looked into Tony's eyes and smiled. Her chest felt warm. This warmth undoubtedly came from the united support of her husband and his family. She had never felt this happy before."Okay. We'll live here," she said, still smiling.Tony's eyes sparkled, and his smile widened. Jade felt her chest grow even warmer."In that case, let's move in tonight. We'll bring our clothes and belongings from the house. What do you think? Or are you too tired after a full day at work? I can handle it tomorrow. Just give me a list of what needs to be brought," Tony said.Jade shook her head. "Tonight is fine. I'm not too tired. Just a little hungry," she replied."Ah, then let's eat first. I'll cook something for you. Do you two want to join us for dinner, Dad, Josephine?" Tony glanced at his father-in-law and sister-in-law."What are you planning to cook, Tony?" Josephine asked. "I'm a bit hungry too."Tony opened the fridge and checked its contents. He nodded and told Josephine what he could whip
Just The Two of Us
Tony led Jade to his apartment. Jade was confused, but when they entered the apartment complex, she was floored, having never been to this notoriously luxurious and upscale apartment complex before. Tony, however, seemed perfectly at ease in the environment.They stopped in front of the entrance to one of the units. Tony took out his access card and opened the door, further bewildering Jade. In her mind, she tried to guess what he was trying to show her.“Come in, Jade,” Tony said.Jade stepped into the apartment, but questioned, “What’s this, Tony?”Tony didn’t rush his answer. He first closed the door and locked it. Then he stretched both of his arms wide and said, “Starting today, we’ll live here. I think it’s the perfect time for us to physically distance ourselves from your family. Besides, Grandma doesn’t consider you her granddaughter anymore, right?”He finished his words with a smile. Jade didn’t smile back. She was still confused, struggling to process her current situat
Thank You, Dad
At the PLS Group headquarters, just after lunch break...Jade had just returned to her office. Before she could even sit down, her phone rang. She frowned when she saw who was calling."Hello, Dad?"[Jade, why didn’t you tell me about something this important?]Jade froze for a moment, unsure what Josh was referring to."About what, Dad?"[About this insane bet between you and your mom.]Jade’s eyes widened slightly. Now she knew where this conversation was headed."Did Grandma call you, Dad?"[She came to the office to discuss it with me. You have no idea how shocked I was when I heard she’s planning to remove your name from the family registry.]Jade went silent again. She tried to imagine the conversation between her father and grandmother. A question popped into her mind: how had her father responded to Grandma’s complaint?[You’re crazy, Jade. You’re crazy for risking something this big. Do you no longer want to be part of the Robertson family, huh?]Jade sighed. Honestly, she wa
Tell Me The Truth, Tony
Two nurses assisted the doctor as he examined Michelle. His face was a mask of bewilderment. He had treated Michelle when she was rushed to the emergency room, and he was certain - based on his medical knowledge - that she should still be in a coma for months, even years. Now, she was awake and seemingly fine. Her heart rate and blood pressure were normal. The only thing amiss was the faint paleness of her complexion.To be sure of Michelle’s condition, he performed the examination three times. The two nurses who were assisting him exchanged glances, just as baffled as the doctor. In fact, everyone in the room was confused, except Tony.Tony stood with his back against the wall, to the right of the doorway. His arms were folded across his chest, and his head was slightly bowed, but his eyes were fixed on the patient's bed.“This is a miracle. The patient has truly overcome the critical phase. I’m not sure exactly what happened while she was in a coma, but she’s basically recovered.
You're Very Demanding, Aren't You?
The next morning, Tony secretly followed Jade to the PLS Group headquarters. Making sure his wife didn’t realize she was being tailed, he pulled into the parking lot reserved for the directors and executives. As soon as he parked, he called Hayley.[Good morning, Mr. Tony. Is there anything I can do for you?]"Hayley, can we talk for a bit? I’m on my way to your office now.”[Of course sir. Is there anything you want me to prepare?]“No, I just want to discuss a few things with you concerning my wife’s first few days at the company. I'll explain the details when I arrive in your office.”[Of course, sir. Understood.]Tony ended the call. He was now standing in front of the automatic doors of the lobby.When the doors opened, the receptionist realized the man about to enter was the company’s owner. She immediately stood up and bowed her head in deference.“I’m going to the CEO’s office. Don’t tell anyone, especially my wife, " Tony said.The receptionist nodded. Tony didn’t n
My Decision Won't Change
Tony and Jade, who were close to the bedroom door, stopped walking and turned their bodies 45 degrees, turning to look at Tiffany with confused faces."What do you mean, Grandma?" Tony asked, raising one eyebrow."I said you can't leave until I tell you my decision," Tiffany replied."What other decision is there? Isn't it clear?"Tony turned his body until he was fully facing Tiffany. Jade did the same as her husband."Starting tomorrow, Jade will be working at PLS Group and holding a strategic position. She proved to you that she can handle your challenge. And she has told you that she rejects your offer and request to help manage your family business. Up to this point, everything should be clear, right?"Tony said it in a slightly raised and arrogant tone. His facial expression and gaze showed that he was quite annoyed.Tiffany glanced at Tony for a moment, then turned her eyes back to Jade and asked, "Are you sure about this decision, Jade? Are you sure you want to rebel like this
I Win The Bet
Tiffany was in her room, sitting in her wheelchair facing the window.The window curtains were pulled back halfway, making sunlight from outside enter her room, some of it hitting her face.It was clear that Tiffany was seriously thinking about something.Knock! Knock!"They are here, Madam," said Catherine, her loyal maid, from outside the room."Bring them in," said Tiffany.The bedroom door was opened and pushed inward, and Catherine entered followed by Jade and then Tony. Slowly, Tiffany turned her head and turned her wheelchair. Catherine quickly approached Tiffany and helped her so that she and her wheelchair were now fully facing Jade.Jade was currently wearing an office suit that made her look stunning in Tiffany's eyes. A knee-length cream-colored skirt, a tight white inner combined with a blazer that was also cream-colored. Jade's glasses, as well as her hair, which was mostly tied in a ponytail at the back, made her look intelligent."Grandma," Jade greeted, nodding.Tiffa
Jade's Mixed Feeling
Jade stepped out of Hayley's office with mixed feelings. On the one hand, she felt a satisfying joy at finding herself now working at a giant company like PLS Group, holding a strategic position. On the other hand, she was worried, this sudden good thing felt like the beginning of bad things that would come to her later.After all, wasn't this illogical? Was she really recruited by Hayley to be the head of a new division at PLS Group that handles web novels? Wasn't she just having a beautiful dream right now?Those feelings and thoughts were still circling her as she descended in the elevator. After the elevator arrived on the ground floor and the door opened, she paused for two seconds before finally stepping out. It felt like part of her consciousness was wandering off somewhere.In the lobby, near the reception desk, Jade saw Tony. Her husband seemed to be waiting for her. Immediately, she quickened her pace, approaching Tony."How was it? Everything good?" Tony asked casually, rai
Something Good
The next day, at Vermaen Hospital..."Are you ready?" Tony asked, having just entered Josephine's hospital room."Just a minute. I'll have a drink first," Jade replied, taking her tumbler from the bedside table and gulping it down."Where are you two going anyway?" Josephine asked; in the patient's bed, she was sitting with her back leaning against the headboard, playing a game on her phone."Watch out, don't drag my daughter into trouble again!" Sasha said sharply.Tony smirked slightly, saying, "You guys can relax. Today, I'm going to take Jade to a good place. Later this afternoon when she sees you again here, you'll hear good news from her directly."Jade had finished drinking and was now closing her tumbler. She glanced at Tony with the corner of her eye. Her face was full of questions."Well, whatever it is, be careful. You know what I mean, Tony?" Josephine said.Tony didn't answer, just raised one eyebrow."Alright, let's go. It's getting late. Don't let us be late," Jade said
